Aer Lingus Chief Commercial Officer, Keith Butler said: "The 2016 winter programme is firmly focused on sun as we have grown our short-haul routes to the sun by 15%.

"While traditionally summer is the time of year when people jet off to warmer surroundings, winter is certainly picking up pace as many opt for a second boost of sunshine to see them through the often harsh Irish winter.

"This winter we have particularly invested in Lanzarote as this is a top choice for Irish holidaymakers, whether they be couples, young families or groups of friends alike.

"The Canary Islands and Malaga remain firm favourites for winter sun and we’ve boosted these routes with greater frequency to meet the strong demand."
